 In this episode of the Throttle Up Leadership Podcast, host Dr. John Dentico interviews Naomi Mamiye, a visionary interior designer known for her remarkable journey from a tragedy-filled childhood to becoming a leader in healthcare design. Naomi shares candidly about overcoming the loss of her parents, navigating life as a single mother of four with no income, and the skepticism she faced when starting her design business. Through determination and resilience, she built a successful design firm specializing in healthcare spaces across the U.S. Naomi emphasizes the importance of a positive mindset, adaptive design that suits community needs, and giving back through mentoring and offering free training to aspiring designers. She discusses the impact of her approach and the philosophy that a true leader creates more leaders. Dr. Dentico and Naomi also dive into the importance of heart and perseverance in professional and personal success. Without a doubt, one of the most inspiring podcast events in my history of podcasting.  00:00 Introduction to Throttle Up Leadership Podcast 01:40 Naomi Mamiye's Early Life and Challenges 05:06 Overcoming Rejection and Mindset Shifts 08:03 Designing for Healthcare: A Unique Approach 11:59 Giving Back: Training Aspiring Designers 18:38 Encouraging Entrepreneurship and Using Talents 25:55 Addressing Loneliness in Nursing Homes 31:21 Conclusion and Final Thoughts If you enjoy our podcasts please like, share and subscribe we genuinely appreciate your support.
